AssosMen's GT LS Mid Layer(Return to Product Page)

Let's start with the one issue I see in this piece. The zipper is dead center and hits you right in the adams apple. It should be offset. With that in mind, if you are between sizes you need to go with the larger one, otherwise the pressure on the neck will be more noticeable. How do I know that. I first bought the L and then got the XL. The L fits well, but I feel pressure in the neck. The XL is looser of a fit. I would prefer the large with a redesign on the neck area.

The unfinished sleeves are awesome - providing no bulk when layering. Everything is like a warm hug with this piece. I feel it should fit fairly snug so that you can layer - putting this mid-layer over a skin layer and under a jacket - to add extra warmth. The current Assos jackets are meant more for high intensity efforts where you are cranking out heat. If you are not putting out a lot of effort you need something like the GT mid layer. This philosophy is an exconmical one since you do not need a bunch of different jackets for varying conditions, you just layer in what you need by combining fewer layers to achieve the jacket of the day.

I prefer this over the older style of dedicated jackets. The GT mid layer can be used for other activities than cycling. I use it as a warm compression layer for golfing in colder weather,

The Assos Men's GT LS Mid Layer is a great second layer in a mid 40f , I personal love it, to let's you know that had no pockets in the back, I used it with a best with pockets. I really recommend it.

Another great product of Assos.
